Baumatic 18 in. BDW45.1 Built-in Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

what to do depends the source of the problem is. When it leaks from the water supply, then see if tightening it will help. look also for cracks or leaks. If it is the drain, check the fittings and the hose. If it is the unit itself, then you have my best wishes.

I would check with the repair depot and get the parts that you need. I am unfamiliar with this unit itself. If the unit holding the wheels on is broken, perhaps a plastic screwnail would hold it on.

The switch needs replacement.

Hi thereIf this door was mine I would get the dishwasher -doctor to come and fix the door. On the other hand if you have a good friend who likes repairing things he might talk to your machine.kolbrun

You may not have to, go to www.applianceart.com to see many options that go over your current panel. They also have stainless replacement panels. The only dishwashers that have panels that you can replace are "frame" dishwashers. If you have one of these, there will be two screws on the side of the door that, when unscrewed, release one side of the frame allowing you to slide the panel in and out. If your dishwasher has metal that wraps around the side, you may want to try a vinyl or a stainless steel foil option that wraps over your door around the sides.

Right on the top edge of the machine - get a torch and look directly under the worktop - there are two hex-head screwws about 4" in from each side. Clockwise to increase spring tension.

REMOVE MAINS POWER COMPLETELY, then remove the plastic covers from base of machine and sponge out the bottom catch tray

Check that water entrance valve works (it is an electromagnet valve, located at the pipe's entrance to the machine)). If it doesn't work, test that it get power. In case it get power and doesn't work - You can easily open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace for a new

the arms are only turned by water coming out of them thro angled jets, they are not electrically driven. the noise will be coming from the circulating pump, probably one of the bearings. no cure except to replace

the salt light is done by a reed switch operated by a float in the salty water. float may be stuck - give softener (where you put in the salt) a tap and also stir the water inside the softener. i assume you have put in enough salt. its not a serious fault
